What are the Top Picks on Showtime outside US?.Here are the 32 best movies You can Watch on Showtime outside US.If you have a little time to kill and also want to innocently introduce your young one to the mythical creature of Mexico, El Chupacabras. It has some very cute moments, but it isn't something to write home about. This is overall a cute harmless film that you can enjoy with your family. He is still a fun character that will probably be beloved by the younger ones in the audience. Despite going through memory loss and being a little exaggerated and cartoonish in his Luchador pride. I especially liked Alex Abuelo's character. Their interactions with Alex are what kept the film afloat for me. Other than Alex, the characters are well-acted and are quite fun on screen. With vibes that would remind you of 'E.T' by Spielberg. It meets its objectives really well, as, it is a cute family-friendly film that reminds you of a simpler time in filmmaking. The film isn't really very well made either to be honest with a lot of rough edges, but I think it deserves a pass because of how harmless it is. His relationship with his father, abuelo (grandfather), cousins as well as Chupa could've all been very decently portrayed if it wasn't for the cardboard acting. Yet because Alex's acting is cardboard, the scene doesn't make you feel much of anything. For anyone who is brown in a foreign setting, this is something we all have experienced. In the initial sequence of the film, Alex is shown being bullied for his Mexican heritage, after which when he goes home he wants his mom to make him "normal" food instead of the authentic Mexican food that he brought to school. Alex played by Evan Whitten didn't really feel like a great protagonist, mostly because the acting was subpar which made it difficult to relate with the character or even care about him. I think a major reason why this film doesn't work is the main lead, Alex. This film lacks that despite a lot of effort. Like in the Pixar film Coco (2017), there's this really beautiful charm that felt authentic.
It isn't in bad taste but just doesn't feel as natural for some reason. It is a very Mexican film, however, it doesn't feel authentic Mexican but instead comes off as a shiny emulated Mexican, like the stereotypes are all ever present, from mentioning Tacos to Luchadors. So much so that it somehow manages to make El Chupacabras, one of the most terrifying legends/mythical creatures from Mexican culture into a cute fluffy pet. Will Alex and the gang be able to keep Chupa from harm? Or will Christian Slater's character (he plays the agent) get his hand on the legendary creature? Watch Chupa to find out. Meanwhile, a US government agency is trying to find this very creature because of its rumored magical healing abilities. He befriends the creature and names it Chupa. It revolves around Alex who while visiting his family in Mexico comes across a mythical creature known as El Chupacabras. Chupa is a Netflix film directed by Jonás Cuarón and starring Demián Bichir, Evan Whitten, and Christian Slater.
